Question

Briefly explain clock generator

Expert Solution

Step 1

A clock generator is a circuit which generates a timing signal to synchronize a circuit's operation. The signal may range from a simple symmetrical square wave to some other complex arrangements.

The main components of a clock generator are an amplifier and a resonant circuit.

A resonant circuit is often a quartz piezo-electric oscillator. The amplifier circuit inverts the signal from the oscillator and then feeds a part of it back to the oscillator for maintaining oscillation. The generator can also consist of additional sections for modifying the basic signal.
